Chapter 78: Enter the palace late at night

Ye Chang was startled, and Su Fengnuan was also startled.
Crazy Yi is dead? Died in his room?
Ye Chang stood up, walked to the door, and asked Qian Han in a deep voice, "How did you die?"
Qian Han said, "The autopsy hasn't yet, so I just check him out of his veins, and I will tell the elder son first. If the elder son didn't let me check him just now, I still don't know that he is dead."
Ye Chang pursed his lips, looking back at Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan stood up at this time and said to Ye Chang, "Where does he live? Let's go over and take a look now."
Ye Chang nodded, and said to Qian Han, "Go get two ponchos and two more umbrellas."
Qian Han went immediately.
Not long after, Qian Han fetched two ponchos, handed one to Su Fengnuan, and one to Ye Chang. The two dressed properly, holding umbrellas, and left the door.
It rained most of the night, and because of the excellent drainage channels in the Royal Palace of Rong'an, only a thin layer of water accumulated on the ground.
Qian Han was carrying the lamp in front, and the two walked side by side behind. The heavy rain hit the umbrella and it crackled.
Out of the main courtyard, bypassing the water pavilion, came to the yard where Crazy Yi was placed.
Qian Han entered the room with the lamp in his hand. Crazy Yi sat on the chair by the window with a calm complexion, one arm hanging on the table, and the sleeve with a broken arm empty.
The doors and windows were closed, there was tea on the table, a page of paper, and a pen.
Qian Han opened the door curtain, turned sideways, and said to Ye Chang, "The son asked me to check if he was out of the house. I asked the guards in the house and said that he had never been out of the house. I saw the lights in the courtyard, so late. Now, he hasn't rested yet. I was surprised, so I stopped by and took a look, only to find that he was dead."
Ye Chang stepped in and Su Fengnuan stepped into the threshold.
When he came to the table, Ye Chang saw the paper on the table, with faint writing on the back. He picked it up and opened it, and saw the paper read: "Ye Shizi forgive me. , Just ask the wind and shadow not to follow."
Just a few words.
Ye Chang put down the paper, his expression a little ugly.
Su Fengnuan naturally saw the words on the paper. Fengying is the name of Fengmei. She stepped forward and signaled Crazy Yi's pulse, and found that he had no pulse. She opened his mouth and was bloody, actually biting his tongue and killing himself.
She withdrew her hand and said to Ye Chang, "Unexpectedly, he died simply, and even Fengmei had put it down. It can be seen that there is really a secret to hide. The one who assassinated you is definitely not him. He should be a blind eye for the killer behind him. At that time, in the assassination of your shipwreck in the water, there should be another person hiding under the water. He used a clever mechanism, a hidden weapon shot from the water."
Ye Chang nodded, his eyes darkened.
Su Fengnuan said, "In this case, you can explain Master Lingyun's concealed weapon tactics the same as you. The killer behind this is not only proficient in hidden weapons, but also proficient in ingenuity."
Ye Chang turned around and asked her, "As far as you know, who is such a person in the arena?"
Su Fengnuan said, "There are many people who know hidden weapons and ingenuity. I know no less than a dozen people, but this alone can't explain much. It may also be an incognito person, even I don't know. Not small. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the world is as big as the rivers and lakes."
Ye Chang turned his head and glanced at Crazy Yi again, "How long has he been dead? Can you tell?"
Su Fengnuan said, "The body is already cold, at least two hours have passed."
Ye Chang sneered, "My Royal Palace of Rong'an, not to mention it's inexhaustible, but it's not a pile of broken copper and iron. Outsiders can't easily come in. The little information inside can't be put out without my permission. But the information outside is not. I can know it for the first time. It seems that for half a day after I was in a coma, the news of the Lingyun Temple accident had already been sent back to the capital. Crazy Yi must have heard the news."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "The person behind you and Master Lingyun must be someone who is extremely important to Crazy Yi. He would rather break his arm instead of the other person, and would rather leave Feng Meiren to die than hide. I can't think of anything except Feng Meiren, who else would let Crazy Yi do this without even having his life."
Ye Chang looked at Crazy Yi with a bit of annoyance and said, "I should really drag him out to feed the dog! He died in my house in a dirty place."
Su Fengnuan sighed, "He can be regarded as a man of affection and righteousness." The words fell, and said, "You rescued him from the emperor's Qingwuwei, and he died as soon as he returned to the mansion. It is equivalent to Lingyun. The only same thread at the temple is also broken. Now there is no way to pick out anything from the dead."
Ye Chang pursed his lips and asked, "You said about Lingyun Temple, is it currently being investigated by Xu Yunchu?"
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Ye Chang said, "Where is the prince?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "The prince has a stomach upset, and Xu Yunchu happened to be there. Naturally, he will leave this to him."
Ye Chang snorted, "This is really interesting." At the end of the word, he said to her, "You go back to my yard to rest first, and I will go to the palace."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, "Are you going to find the emperor?"
Ye Chang said with a sullen face, "This matter is not trivial, so it should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible. If it is said that the shipwreck of the painting boat in the East Lake hurts me alone, it also brings disaster to the East Palace. One thing is trivial, but the prince is added. Zhongwuhuahua, the assassination of Master Lingyun, now Crazy Yi bit his tongue and killed himself, breaking the only clue. It's no small matter."
Su Fengnuan nodded and said to him, "It's raining heavily outside in the middle of the night. I don't worry, I will enter the palace with you."
Ye Chang looked at her, "You just let me go like this?"
Su Fengnuan said, "I can easily become the guard of your mansion and enter the palace with you. On such a rainy night, when you enter the palace, you always have to bring two guards. Qianhan counts as one, and I will dissolve another. "
Ye Chang's complexion was slightly calmer, smiling, "Nuan Nuan cares about me the most, okay."
Su Fengnuan glared at him, "When is it all? You are still in the mood to say this." When the word fell, she said, "Tell people to keep this place well, no one is allowed to come in." After the word fell, she said again. Are there any clothes for the guard? Give me one."
Ye Chang looked at Qian Han, "Go and get one. There should be a bodyguard outfit that fits her appropriately."
"Yes, I will get it now." Qian Han went immediately.
Not long after, Qian Han took the clothes, Su Fengnuan took off his coat, put it on his body, took out the dissolving plaster and the mirror, and after two or more strokes, he changed his appearance, and then pulled out Zhuchai's hair, making it a man's hair. Updo, in a blink of an eye, is a lively guard.
Seeing that she quickly took care of herself, Ye Chang picked up the paper on the table and said to Qian Han, "Send a few people to guard this place."
Qian Han answered and went out to give orders.
Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan walked out of the room. Qian Han had already given orders. They carried a lamp to shine the road in front of them. They put on raincoats and umbrellas and walked outside the house.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the carriage was ready, and the three got into the carriage and headed to the palace.
With such heavy rain, the streets were filled with water, and the carriage was very difficult to move. In the entire capital, except for the brightly lit red house where the Hongxiu Xiangfen live by night and night, only a few people have lights on.
The Royal Palace of Rong'an was not far from the palace, and the carriage came to the gate of the palace not long after.
Qian Han got out of the carriage and said loudly to the guard guarding the palace gate, "My family has important things to see the emperor, please trouble me."
Someone glanced down from the palace gate wall, responded and went immediately.
The emperor had already received the news of the Lingyun Temple accident, and received Feng Sheng’s letter as soon as he read it. After reading it, he threw the letter in front of the jade case. He wanted to send the to Rong’an Prince’s Mansion to call Ye Chang. But after hearing that Ye Chang had a high fever, he was unconscious and could only give up.
That night, there was heavy rain outside, and the little urged him several times, but the emperor still stayed in the royal study room and did not return to the sleeping palace.
After the second shift, the emperor was really tired, so he threw his royal pen and planned to get up and return to the palace.
At this moment, a guard told him, "The emperor, Ye Shizi is asking for a meeting outside the palace gate."
The emperor was startled, "Isn't he caught in a cold, high fever and coma? Why did he come?"
The guard shook his head, "The subordinates don't know, but it is indeed the carriage of the Royal Palace of Rong'an waiting outside the palace gate."
The emperor waved his hand, "Xuan."
The guard immediately left the imperial study room, came to the gate of the palace, and ordered people to open the gate.
When entering the palace to untie the saber, Qian Han and Su Fengnuan both untie the guard's sabre and enter the palace gate with Ye Chang.
At this time, the heavy rain seemed to be heavier. The rain was accompanied by the wind, and it was chilly. Although the three of them were wearing ponchos, their legs were still half wet by the rain.
Su Fengnuan thought that Ye Chang had just cooled off, so he came out to toss like this, a little distressed, and asked him in a low voice, "Is it cold?"
Ye Chang tilted his head to look at her and shook his head, "It's not cold, I can bear it, how about you."
Su Fengnuan also shook his head, "I am much better than your physique."
Ye Chang smiled, "I don't know who was so tired not to wake up recently."
Su Fengnuan choked, and whispered, "That's better than you."
Ye Chang no longer refuted her, and nodded with a smile.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Ye Chang signaled Su Fengnuan Qianhan to stop. He walked to the door by himself. The little was ordered by the emperor and waited at the eaves. At this moment, he saw Ye Chang coming and took a look at the two guards following him. , Because Su Fengnuan was an unfamiliar face, he took one more look, and said quickly, "The son, please, the emperor is waiting for you."
Ye Chang nodded, the little pushed open the door, opened the curtain, and invited Ye Chang in.
Ye Chang stepped into the threshold and handed the umbrella to the little eunuch. He untied the poncho and was about to present it to the emperor.
The emperor looked a little pale when he looked at him, and the expression he had recovered from an illness disappeared again. Coming in from the outside, with a chill out of his body, he waved his hand, "You don't need to be polite, it's such a heavy rain, you come to me late at night, what is the matter?"
Ye Chang said to him, "I just found out that Crazy Yi was dead. He died in the room. He bit his tongue and committed suicide. I think I'll tell you about this matter."
The emperor was startled, "You mean the lunatic who assassinated you? I sent Qingwuwei to take him. You took the opportunity to take him and put him in the mansion. He bit his tongue and committed suicide?"
Ye Chang nodded, "It's him."
The emperor frowned, "What's the matter? Why did he commit suicide? You tortured him? He couldn't stand it so he committed suicide?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "Since I brought him back to the mansion, I haven't had time to pack him." When the words fell, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the emperor, "This is the handwriting he left behind when he was dying."
The emperor took it, glanced at him, and sinking his face, "You didn't torture him, but also confiscated him. Why did he suddenly commit suicide?"
Ye Chang said, "When I woke up, I heard that something major had happened in Lingyun Temple. Master Lingyun was murdered. The hidden weapon in him was a piercing nail that was smeared with poison, which was exactly the same as the piercing nail I had that day. , Very poisonous, and the same technique. I originally asked Qian Han to check whether Crazy Yi was out of the house in the past two days. I found out that he did not go out of the house, but he died."
"So?" The emperor looked at him.
Ye Chang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Master Lingyun was not a hidden weapon shot by someone, but an organ technique by someone. He set up an organ hidden weapon in the desk, which was automatically issued, killing people. But Crazy Yi did. I didn’t get out of my mansion, it was definitely not what he did. Even the poisonous tactics were really conjectural. I guessed that someone else who assassinated me that day should be someone else, not Crazy Yi, who is just a cover. He is now. Suicide should also be to protect the people behind it."
The emperor's face was very ugly upon hearing this, "A wave of unrest has risen again, when has this Lingyun Town been so messy? Or, for so many years, I have been too conniving with those rivers and lakes and killers? Make them even more crazy? "
Ye Chang said immediately, "I have never stepped into the rivers and lakes. In these years, the people who have offended are only people inside and outside the capital. And the prince has never left the East Palace for many years. Master Lingyun is a monk who has always been kind to others, let alone It will offend the people in the rivers and lakes." After a pause, he said, "I'm afraid it was caused by the people in the rivers and lakes. Even if it is, it should be instigated."
The emperor felt reasonable, and his face was even more gloomy and ugly. Whoever instigates it will cause more trouble."
Ye Chang nodded.
The emperor said, "I received Feng Sheng's memorial, saying that the prince of Lingyun Town should be handed over to Xu Yunchu for thorough investigation?"
Ye Chang nodded, "I heard it was."
The emperor sighed, "I can't count on the prince." After the words fell, he glanced at Ye Chang and sighed deeply, "Your injury has not been completely healed. Now you are infected again. The wind is cold, I heard that the doctor Meng stayed in your house for half a day, but he couldn't relieve the fever. Later, a girl from outside gave you the fever? Who is that woman? The medical skills are even better than the doctor Meng. high?"
Ye Chang said, "It's the distant niece of Mr. Accountant in my mansion. It is said that she has been studying medicine in Shenyi Valley."
"It turns out to be an apprentice from the Valley of Divine Medicine, no wonder it is better than my imperial doctor." The emperor looked at him and said, "I remember that the accountant in your house is called Wei Lin? It was the dowry given to your mother by the Ye family back then. He too Understand medical skills."
Ye Chang nodded, "Old Wei's medical skills are not superb, not as good as Doctor Meng."
The emperor nodded, "What about the woman?"
Ye Chang said, "I've already left. She happened to see Elder Wei. She caught up with my fever, helped me to get rid of the fever, and then left." After a pause, he added, "The people of the rivers and lakes are used to being loose and don't like Beijing. Restrained."
The emperor nodded, "There are many capable people and strangers in the arena, but most of them don't like to be restrained, and they don't want to come to the capital as an official or part-time official, and they don't want to eat royal salary."
Ye Chang nodded, "Most people in the rivers and lakes have weird temperaments, and they act extreme and can't keep them together." When the words fell, he was a little depressed and idiosyncratic, "Just like Crazy Yi, I didn't treat him well, he committed suicide."
The emperor looked at him, "A cruel killer, he will die if he dies. Since he is not the one who killed you, you don't have to be depressed."
Ye Chang said, "It was really superfluous at the beginning. Let your Qing Wuwei bring it back. Maybe it won't let him die so simply."
The emperor looked at him and said with a smile, "Dare to someone from my Qing Wuwei, you are the only one. I think you will torture him, so I just give it up. Put it in the hands of Qing Wuwei, he may live But one day." After a pause, he patted Ye Chang's shoulder, "You are just like your father, after all, you are kind."
Ye Chang lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said in a low voice, "Father is kind, but I am not kind. I have thoughts about him staying in my mansion as a slave, even if he doesn't say anything, he buys evil behind him. People must be afraid that he will leak out one day and eventually kill him. I used him as a guide to find out who bought the murderer. But I didn't expect that he bit his tongue and committed suicide first, and now he has completely cut the clue."
The emperor smiled upon hearing the words,
It’s good to be a kind person. A kind-hearted person will either live bitterly or live soon.

Ye Chang stopped talking.
The emperor said, "The man behind this is a good way to use his power to kill. He used the same poisonous piercing nails and techniques to assassinate Master Lingyun, which aroused everyone's doubts, and then exposed the lunatic in your mansion. This person is against the lunatic. It should be extremely important. Therefore, after getting the news of Lingyun Temple, Crazy Yi chose to commit suicide in order to avoid being thoroughly investigated and to prevent the person from being exposed. In other words, the purpose behind the assassination of Master Lingyun may be Forcing Crazy Yi to die."
Ye Chang pursed his lips, "Your analysis is reasonable." After the words fell, he said, "I am all to blame, but I have a fever today, and he has the strength to pay attention to the matter late at night, but he is already dead..."
The emperor looked at him, "It's a coincidence, your health is important." He paused, and then said, "Sometimes, people die, it's not a hundred. If everything ends because of death, then the world will It won’t be so complicated. So even if he dies, he still has a way to check."
Ye Chang looked at the emperor and said nothing.
The emperor said to him, "The prince handed over to Xu Yunchu the matter of Lingyun Temple for the time being, and I handed it over to the king of Jin for the shipwreck of the East Lake painting boat. There was no injury to the flower in the crown prince, and I handed it to the Fengyang Escort. Young Master. So far, no progress has been made." After the words fell, he said, "Now, the case of Lingyun Temple and the shipwreck of the East Lake Painting Boat are linked together, and it is even more complicated. If I leave these cases to you, Fully investigate thoroughly, you may be competent?"
Ye Chang was startled.
The emperor looked at him and said, "Your earlier injury has not fully healed, I know. Now you have caught the wind and cold, you have just gone from the fever, and your physical strength is still weak. I can see it. However, I have also indulged you for some years. Yes, although your surname is Ye, you are of the royal family after all. The blood of my Liu family remains in your bloodline. In the past, although King Rong'an and the Princess died in battle, they kept Nanqi's peace for twelve years. Now, both inside and outside are unstable. You also have to shoulder the burden and responsibility of protecting your family and the country in the Royal Palace of Rong'an, so that you can live up to your identity as the Royal Palace of Rong'an."
Ye Chang lowered his head when he heard the words, was silent for a while, and uttered a word, "I'm still young."
The emperor heard the words and scolded, "Although you are not as weak as the crown, but you are already seventeen. At your age, I was already married and pro-government. You told me that you are still young?" When the words fell, he laughed angrily, "Then , You tell me, how many years do you want to play around? Isn’t that small?"
Ye Chang said, "Three to five years."
The emperor snorted, "You don't want to talk less to yourself." The words fell, and he sighed, "If so many things don't happen one after another, Nanqi Taiping, I will let you mix for another three to five years. Now..." He turned his head and looked out the window, showing a bleak state, "This rain is too heavy, and my Imperial Study Room is inevitably cold by the rain."
Ye Shang also looked out the window when he heard the words, and was silent again.
The emperor said to him, "This is the matter. I will issue a decree tomorrow morning and send it to the Royal Palace of Rong'an to hide the prince’s harmlessness, and only investigate these two major cases. Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry will cooperate with you. Investigate the case."
Ye Chang shook his head, "If I can't do it..."
The emperor frowned, "I am behind you, what can't you do? Just check and find out who is involved, and immediately go to prison. I don't believe it anymore. This emperor and the royal family are really weak to be deceived. Have you reached such a point? Behind the scenes to act so recklessly? I am not dead yet."
Ye Chang gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Ye Chang takes the decree."
The emperor waved to him, "Get up, it's late at night, go back, and be careful on the road."
Ye Chang nodded, "The emperor also rested earlier." After speaking, he quit the Imperial Study Room.
Outside the imperial study room, under the eaves, Qian Han and Su Fengnuan had been waiting. Seeing Ye Chang coming out, they followed him silently to leave the imperial study room and walked outside the palace.
After leaving the palace gate, Ye Chang glanced back, the palace gate followed him out, opened and closed, majestic and solemn in the heavy rain. He stopped, and whispered to Su Fengnuan, "Back then, the father, the mother and the concubines, and a group of soldiers died in battle and buried their bones on the border, in order to preserve such an imperial city."
Su Fengnuan was able to listen to sounds within ten steps. Although he lost some of Ye Chang's ability to dispel heat, he was not very real because of the heavy rain, but he also listened to the conversation between him and the emperor. . She also glanced back at the palace in the heavy rain, with thick walls.
Ye Chang whispered again, "General Su's battle at the border to prevent the Northern Zhou from invading the Mata border is also for such an imperial city."
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "No, they are all for the people of Nanqi, and they are asking for peace and prosperity."
Ye Chang looked at her, the rain curtain was between the two, his eyes looked at her disguised face for an instant, only those eyes were extremely familiar. He shook his head and said softly, "Nanqi is the country of the Liu family, and the people are also the people of the Liu family. Without this palace, the country would change and the land would collapse, and there would be no country and the people. After all, it would be the same. What's going on."
Su Fengnuan was silent, speechless.
Ye Chang stretched out his hand to help her close the poncho, stopped talking, and said, "Let's go."
